Desperately into you

CHAPTER 25

" Finish your food," He implied before he dump into the trash can the plastic container of his sports drinks." We'll go home," he told me in a husk.

I looked at him, confused at what he was saying

" What? but we're not done yet," I mutter as I look at the house and back to him. Why all of a sudden? don't tell me he's mad because of what just happened earlier?

I was confused by his sudden changes of behavior, he was dead serious as he picked up his spare shirt in the backseat of the car.

''Are you done?" He checked on me after he puts on his shirt. I nodded at him before I slide myself off the hood of his car and throw those plastics of food into the trash. I didn't try to argue with him this time when I noticed that he was not really in good mood.

"Come on," He said as he get into his car as positioned himself behind the steering wheel.

I turned around to get into his car when I saw the pink box of the brownies that I had baked for him. I looked at him examining his serious expression.

" Are you...mad?" I asked hesitantly, as I reached for the pink box and put it on my lap, I caught him looking at what I did before he focuses on the road, he was already driving on our way home.

I shriek when I felt something bit my legs,

"s**t," Cussed and let out a weak laugh when I saw it was a red ant on my legs, he bit me and it stings a little, I removed that little creature on my leg, and it itched a bit. And because I have creamy white skin, the redness caused by the ant was very visible.

I glanced at Viel and I caught his deep set of eyes looking at me and to the riad, back and forth.

I arched my brows at him and I hear him ask.

" Who are you laughing at?" He asked as his forehead creased. I bit my lower lips then I wave my hand saying that It was nothing.

"Hey, frosty!" I teased him but I didn't get any response, he was focusing on driving.

"Are you mad?" I asked while pouting, he must be really upset for some reason. " Oh! by the way, see this? I baked brownies! " I said happily as I lifted the pink box to show him while I'm smiling cutely.

He looked at me then back to the road.

" I made this for you," I said with puppy eyes but of course what should I expect from this unromantic and very mature man beside me? my puppy eyes didn't even work on him!...

"Here, have a taste," I said lively.

"Viel?" I called his name again, but I got no response.

" I woke up early in the morning for this," I said while pouting but it sounds more like I make him feel guilty if ever will not going to eat this.

He stayed quiet while he continue driving which made me look down in defeat.

I hold the pink little box tightly as I played with my fingers, I pursed my lips.

I felt sad, I was rejected.

I thought I can spend my whole day with him but I don't know why he became cold all of a sudden and decided to bring me back home, and now I'm offering him the brownies that I shred all my efforts for him but I think, he really doesn't care.

I bent my head more and stay silent as I felt the corner of my eyes heat up, I think I'm so immature for being so emotional about something that is not really a big deal. I don't understand myself, all I know is just that, I'm hurt deep down. right now.

Suddenly the car stopped.

I was bewildered when he parked the car on the side of the road. I heard a low growled from him sounds like he's really in trouble and problematic right now.

I slowly lift my head and look at him, but I immediately averted my gaze so he wouldn't notice my teary eyes, that I'm in the urge of crying because I'm feeling bad. I could feel his intense stares at me, he was looking at me even if I'm avoiding my eyes on him by playing with my fingers like a kid... or maybe I'm just really a kid for him? that's why he always calls me 'brat'.

I was startled and my breath hitched when he remove the seatbelt on him and move closer to me! he's just inches away! but I act like I was not affected even though my heart says the otherwise 'cause it's beating rapidly. But I'm still sad, that's why even though I tried to hold not to cry, A drop of tears rolled down my cheek, and I know he could see it clearly, I saw his jaw clench and cursing in a low voice before he holds my chin to level our eyes.

" hush," He whispered. This uptight and unromantic Aeronautical Engineer who has heterochromia eyes is now staring at me straight to the eye as if he's staring at my soul, and he's just inches away that I could smell his minty breath and addicting manly scent,

I run out of words while I was drowned by his gaze. He's looking at me apologetically as he brushed his thumb to wipe the trace of tears on my cheek.

" Don't cry" He mumbled as his eyes trailed down to the pink box that I was gripping tightly.

" Give me that," He said and get the little box of brownies and opened it. Afterwards, he sit properly and picked one from it. Melinda suggested putting a peanut for the toppings to add more flavor which I agreed, it tastes good so I know Viel would like it.

He immediately took a bite on it, I caught him staring at the peanut toppings like he was hesitating a bit but he just shrugged like he had no choice and eat it all.

I was just silently staring at him with a wide smile, it was insane that my mood s flew shifted from crying to a wide smile. He almost empties the ly box of the brownies!

" How was it?" I asked him hopefully, I was smiling when h.e answered that it taste so good which make me giggle. He likes it!

he got bottled water and drank it. He glanced at me and sighed in relief when he saw me smiling unlike earlier that I was in the urge of crying like a kid who didn't got the candy she wanted.
